Julian Casablancas interviews The Doors

Julian Casablancas recently conducted an interview of The Doors for Complex magazine. During so, the Strokes frontman revealed to Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger that The Doors were "pretty much the reason" he plays music today.

Julian's questions touched on how the group wrote and recorded their songs, whether or not they believed Jim Morrison had any illegitimate children and if they would ever do a show with someone that looks and sounds like Jim Morrison. Check out the full interview at Complex. Excerpt and a song Casablancas brings up during their talk, below.

JC: Now you’re showing off! (Kidding.) I have a weird question, and feel free to use your “No-Comment” card. Bob Marley had a lot of kids and there’s been talk of paternity suits. Are there any kids that you know of, or claims you believe?

RK: You mean as far as Morrison’s kids?

JC: Yeah.

RK: There is a kid called Cliff Morrisson who claims to be Jim’s kid, but I told the guy, "Do the DNA and then we’ll know.” He never did it. My theory is Jim was sterile. Look, think of all the girls he was with and you know a lot of them were trying to have his kid and it never happened. Hundreds of them. What are the odds?

RM: Yeah, never happened. Nobody came around and said “I’m Jim Morrison’s son” until after the Oliver Stone movie came out. Then they came out of the woodwork. 'I'm his son!' 'I'm his son!' There was one kid called Allen Los Angeles, guy was 6’2”, Jim Morrison as a blond. Boy was he handsome, he looked great.
